We contracted with Makeshift Media Group to film a debate between Liz Cheney and Governor Howard Dean on November 2, 2012 at Marquette University and to provide us with a feed so we could stream the event one hour event.

Makeshift used three high definition camera's and a switcher to capture every angle possible. The live stream was fantastic and the video quality exceptional.

I will definitely hire Makeshift Media Group the next time we are in the Wisconsin or surrounding area.

Kudos to Ben!

My husband was so against a videographer and just felt like it was an unnecessary expense.......

after only just seeing a small part of the video - he looked at me and said it was the best money spent at the entire wedding. Ben was amazing, friendly, creative and everything we hoped he would be and more.

I would definitely recommend Ben and his team to anyone and I am more than happy to talk to anyone about them if they need more information!

Simply put they are worth every penny!

"Ben did an excellent job photographing my wedding ceremony in March!

He took beautiful shots of me and my husband all throughout the ceremony and of the whole family afterwards.

It was really fun seeing all the candid shots he took of our guests before I even arrived at the church. He was great at gathering all the various family members for the formal shots and managing the poses.

The photos are everything we hoped for!"

Ben did an excellent job with our wedding video.

It is great to have the highlights, and our story and the longer events seperate.

Ben was extremely fast getting us the finished product. The day after our wedding, Ben had already sent us a couple still shots which was amazing to see those right away and we had the video in two weeks!!!!

"I've been in the marketing business for over 10 years and have
been in charge more video productions than I can count!

Ben has
exceeded my expectations with not only the quality of the videos
(which is #1) but his professional insight as well.

Jeff and I thought you did a fabulous job on our wedding video. I would certainly recommend you to anyone.

The video was very professional and you did an excellent job capturing the feelings, excitement, and events and tying it into a beautifully done video. Your video was definitely professional quality, not some home made movie.

Feel free to use me as a reference any time. I certainly recommend you to anyone and everyone.

We used Ben/Makeshift Media Group for our May 2011 wedding. Ben was polite, professional and very easy to work with.

The video he produced of our wedding day was wonderful and captured all the right moments; it was a beautiful reflection of our day and we are so excited to have such a special memento to look back on for many years to come. We definitely highly recommend his services.

“We hired Ben's company to conduct a two-camera video shoot of a live performance of our rock band. Included in the package was audio/video editing, the creation of a video montage from footage spanning over an hour, the creation of a YouTube channel for the band and a demo DVD.

Ben did good quality work at good price, and he was reliable and responsive even months after the initial phase of the work was done.”

“Ben is a very talented, very creative film-maker. He was instrumental in filming, editing and developing creative content for the indie film, "The Zombeatles: All You Need Is Brains." Ben edited the entire film, shot the film and did the sound design. He also acted in the film. Ben has tremendous energy, enthusiasm, initiative and creativity. He's truly a pleasure to work with. The film would not have been the success it is without Ben's dedication and vision.

I also acted for Ben in a short film called "Southern Discomfort." This was another very enjoyable experience. Ben has a tremendous eye for visuals and what makes for a good shot. He's also a very talented and creative writer. I can't say enough good things about Ben Wydeven's talents, skills, experience and work ethic.

Ben is an excellent videographer who made trailers for several theatrical ventures I was involved with. His videos are interesting, well-shot and inventive. He's intelligent and easy to work with. July 16, 2011

"With short notice, Ben was able to assemble a group of actors and film crew, find a location, and film three short training videos for my company, Teksoft Ventures.

Within a few days of meeting Ben, he delivered three great videos to us all within the budget discussed. We couldn't have asked for more."
Tim Caravia hired Ben in 2011, and hired him more than once.
